Portable Generator Fuel Choices

portable generators run on different types of fossil fuels: natural gas, propane, diesel or gasoline. The diesel generator is the most fuel-efficient. A gallon of diesel fuel will last two to three times as long as gasoline. Also, gasoline generators have to be cooled down before you can refuel which isnt the case with diesel. Diesel generators are designed to run continuously for hours. The engines are cooled by water, very durable and more dependable than other kinds of generators and have the longest engine life. They use direct injection and are much less likely to start a fire as they dont have spark plugs. Diesel is the least flammable of all the fuels making it safer to store. However, diesel generators are noisy, smokey and hard to start in cold weather requiring heaters. Also, diesel fuel is more expensive than gasoline in many places. Diesel generators are usually the most expensive type and normally used for larger, commercial applications.

Gasoline generators are usually the cheapest and gasoline is available almost anywhere. However, they emit harmful carbon monoxide and are noisy. They also require frequent maintenance and the engine wears out faster than diesel, propane or natural gas generators. Gasoline has a short shelf life, gums up, is highly flammable and dangerous to store for long durations. They require frequent maintenance to avoid fuel filter and carburetor problems. However, they are the most affordable and popular choice for a standby home generator.

Propane gas generators are excellent for cold climates because they dont have trouble starting in cold weather. If you have an existing propane tank for your stove or heater the generator can be hooked right up to that. The biggest disadvantage of propane is its a more expensive fuel than gas and produces less energy per unit volume than diesel. Propane has an unlimited shelf life. Propane burns clean and doesnt gum up. It has the lowest noise level and a longer engine life than gasoline or diesel.

If you live in an area where natural gas is available the advantages and disadvantages of the propane gas generator are about the same. Natural gas is probably the most reliable and dependable fuel on earth. Usually the only time there is a natural gas outage is during a hurricane or earthquake. Of course propane and natural gas generators have a higher installation cost due to plumbing costs and the initial cost is higher than gas generators.

Oil and natural gas companies like, Western Pipeline Corporation, provide a reliable source of supply of all these types of fuel.

How To Play Better Golf... It's Not What You Think

playing better golf is the lifelong pursuit of every golfer on the planet. Why else would we subject ourselves to one of the most humbling games (sport) ever?

I mean, how many times have you come off the course ready to give it up?

Im dead serious!

You drive home saying never again! Butyou go to the range the next day, or even the same day, after youve cooled down.

man, what a glutton for punishment! Just hours before, you got totally humiliated, and now youre back for more.

The vicious cycle a golfer goes through every season.

Am I close?

The 6 million dollar question ishave you gotten better? Are you happy with your game? Are you driving it as far as youd like?

If not, what now?

Theres only one thing left.

YOU!

Youre body is keeping you from the game of your dreams. The game you know youre capable of playing. Doesnt that make sense? If youve tried all the above and still are not satisfied.

Heres what you have to doimmediately!

Diagnose your limitations. Is it strength? Is it flexibility? Or how about stamina? You know its a strength issue, if your swing mechanics are good, but youre not hitting the ball any amount of distance.

Its a flexibility issue if you if you cant perform consistent swings with proper mechanics. And its obviously a stamina issue if your back nine is worse than your front nine.

Once you come up with your personal limitations, youve got to set up a program, or search one out that will get you on the right track and not hurt your game.

Working on your limitations will get you the quickest results, in the shortest amount of time. Youll be amazed at how much better your swing is and how much farther youre hitting the ball.

Your golf will become enjoyable again, and youll wonder why you didnt take this approach years ago.

Remember, its NEVER too late to start!

NEVER!

So get to it right now!
